Abstract Managing open abdomens in critically ill patients after damage control surgery is complex and challenging. Delay definitive reduces successful primary fascial closure increasing complications. Early abdominal wall can improve patient outcomes reduce risks. We retrospectively reviewed all who had the re-approximation anchor applied to achieve at our institution. The electronic health record was for demographics, abdomen indication, total number of operations, time closure, success...
Abstract Background Several emergent circumstances require healthcare providers to recognize the unusual and dangerous pathogenic agents. An in-depth literature review showed that studies about bioterrorism preparedness amongst are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed investigate knowledge level of first emergency respondents towards events. Methods This has a cross-sectional design was carried out at Emergency departments poison control centers/clinical laboratories three in major tertiary...
Abstract Objectives: To assess the hospital beds and intensive care unit (ICU) with a ventilator surge capacity of health system in Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA) during coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: This study used relevant data from National Health Emergency Operation Center to estimate general ICU bed tipping points under 3 distinct transmission scenarios. Results: The results reveal that hospitals KSA need be supplied additional 4372 for COVID-19 positive cases if...
Because the epidemiology of road traffic injuries (RTIs) can differ in time due to differences dynamics or behaviors, this paper aims examine whether RTIs are more likely occur at sunset Ramadan than other months KSA. A nationwide cross-sectional study all recorded Saudi Red Crescent Authority database. Cases were those who sought emergency care following any RTI 2021. Differences counts between and compared using Chi-2 tests. logistic regression model was constructed evaluate association...
Introduction Road traffic injuries (RTIs) have a significant impact on the healthcare system as well global economy. RTIs involving ambulance crashes not only cause delays in patient transfers but also endanger occupants and other road users. Due to rising numbers of Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA), country's primary provider prehospital services Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) has established new Trauma Epidemiology Center (TEC) following KSA 2030 vision.

In medical education, simulation can be defined as an activity in which individual demonstrates skills, procedures and critical thinking using interactive mannequins a setting closely resembling the clinical environment. To our knowledge, complexity of trauma simulations has not previously been assessed. We aimed to develop objective score assess its interrater reliability.The McGill Simulation Complexity Score (MSCS) was designed address need for evaluation scenarios. Components reflected...
Introduction: Several emergent circumstances require healthcare providers to be able recognize the dangerous and uncommon pathogenic agents. An in-depth literature review showed that studies about bioterrorism preparedness amongst from Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, are lacking. Therefore, we conducted this study investigate knowledge level of first emergency respondents towards events, which department (ED) poison control center/clinical laboratory staff. Methods: A cross-sectional...
